Starting your own pandesal business makes your life fun and rewarding.

Pandesal is a Spanish word for “salt bread”. It is a rounded bread usually eaten by Filipinos during breakfast. It is made of flour, eggs, lard, yeast, sugar, and salt. It has a soft, powdery texture, and is eaten in a number of ways combined with sandwich spreads. Despite the literal meaning of its name, the taste of pandesal varies from bland to slightly sweet.
